It is incorporated by.
In general, the present invention relates to systems and methods for forming dielectric films in semiconductor applications. More particularly, the present invention relates to a system and method for making a multi-component dielectric film on a substrate using a mixed vapor precursor.
マイクロ電子機器の小型化に向かう高度化及び気運の高まりに伴い、集積回路当りのトランジスタの数は指数関数的に増大しており、より早く、より小さく、より強力な電子機器システムに対する要求を満足させるために更に増大することが確実である。しかし、従来的なシリコンベースのトランジスタ幾何学構成が、二酸化シリコンゲート誘電体が僅かに数個の原子層の厚みになる臨界点に達するので、漏れ電流及び電力損の増加をもたらす電子のトンネル現象がより優勢になることになる。従って、二酸化シリコンよりも大きい誘電率又は誘電係数を有し、電流トンネル現象又は漏れを防止することができる代替の誘電体が非常に望ましいであろう。二酸化シリコンに取って代わる最も期待される誘電体候補には、酸化ハフニウム、酸化ジルコニウム、及び酸化タンタルがある。 With the increasing sophistication and increasing momentum toward miniaturization of microelectronics, the number of transistors per integrated circuit is increasing exponentially, meeting the demand for faster, smaller and more powerful electronic systems. It is certain that it will increase even further. However, conventional silicon-based transistor geometries reach a critical point where the silicon dioxide gate dielectric is only a few atomic layers thick, leading to electron tunneling resulting in increased leakage current and power dissipation Will become more dominant. Therefore, an alternative dielectric that has a higher dielectric constant or dielectric constant than silicon dioxide and that can prevent current tunneling or leakage would be highly desirable. The most promising dielectric candidates to replace silicon dioxide include hafnium oxide, zirconium oxide, and tantalum oxide.
不運にも、これらの材料は、シリコン上で化学的及び熱的に不安定であり、二酸化シリコンとは違って金属誘電体とシリコン基板の間の境界面での欠陥及び電荷トラップを形成する。電荷トラップ及び欠陥は、ゲートに印加される電圧を吸収し、トランジスタの性能及び信頼性を乱すものである。境界面の電荷トラップ及び欠陥の生成を制限するために、二酸化シリコンの境界層が誘電体とシリコン基板の間に堆積される。二酸化シリコン境界面は、誘電体からの緩衝をシリコン基板にもたらすが、二酸化シリコン境界面は、誘電体の表面特性に適合しない場合がある。従って、極薄型高k誘電体を作製するために、誘電体及びシリコン基板の表面特性及び化学的性質を改善することができ、同時に同等な物理的酸化物厚みを最小化する境界面が必要である。 Unfortunately, these materials are chemically and thermally unstable on silicon and, unlike silicon dioxide, form defects and charge traps at the interface between the metal dielectric and the silicon substrate. Charge traps and defects absorb the voltage applied to the gate and disrupt transistor performance and reliability. In order to limit the generation of interface charge traps and defects, a boundary layer of silicon dioxide is deposited between the dielectric and the silicon substrate. Although the silicon dioxide interface provides buffering from the dielectric to the silicon substrate, the silicon dioxide interface may not match the surface characteristics of the dielectric. Therefore, in order to fabricate ultra-thin high-k dielectrics, it is possible to improve the surface properties and chemical properties of the dielectric and silicon substrate, while at the same time requiring an interface that minimizes the equivalent physical oxide thickness. is there.
化学気相堆積(CVD)のような膜を作製する従来技術の堆積技術は、高度な薄膜の要件に徐々に対処できなくなっている。CVD処理は、向上した段差被覆を有する整合膜をもたらすように調整することができるが、CVD処理は、高い処理温度を必要とする場合が多い。例えば、高kゲート誘電体作製の障害の1つは、CVD処理中の境界面酸化シリコン層の形成である。CVDにおける気相反応は、粒子生成の原因となる。別の障害は、シリコン基板上の高kゲート誘電体のための超薄型膜の堆積における従来技術CVD処理の限界である。 Prior art deposition techniques for producing films such as chemical vapor deposition (CVD) have gradually been unable to cope with the requirements of advanced thin films. Although the CVD process can be tailored to provide a matching film with improved step coverage, the CVD process often requires high processing temperatures. For example, one of the obstacles to high-k gate dielectric fabrication is the formation of a boundary silicon oxide layer during the CVD process. A gas phase reaction in CVD causes particle generation. Another obstacle is the limitations of prior art CVD processes in the deposition of ultra thin films for high k gate dielectrics on silicon substrates.
非常に薄い膜を堆積させる従来的なCVD処理に対する代替方法は、原子層堆積法(ALD)である。ALDは、従来的CVDを超えるいくつかの利点を有する。ALDは、より低い温度に向かう業界の傾向に適合する比較的低温度で実行することができ、整合する薄膜層を形成することができるものである。ALD処理を用いて、HfxSiyO2(x+y=1)膜のような多成分膜を堆積する既存の方法は、連続的蒸着法を用いてHfO2及びSiO2膜の積層体膜を堆積させるものである。すなわち、前駆体化学物質は混合されず、その代わりに、Hf含有前駆体及びSi含有前駆体は、独立かつ連続的にチャンバ内にパルス駆動で導入され、それぞれHfO及びSiO2の積層体層を形成する。実際に、前駆体のあらゆる混合が制限され、1つの前駆体は、第2の前駆体がパルス導入される前にチャンバからパージされる。積層体膜が望ましい厚みに形成された状態で、膜は、膜全体に亘るより連続した組成に到達させるためにアニールされる。異なる積層体膜の層を蓄積させるこの手法は、複数の境界面のために膜内に多くの電子トラップをもたらし、これは、トラップを固定するのに高温の熱アニールを必要とする。高温の熱アニール段階の追加は、半導体を製造するコスト及び時間を増大させ、更に、ウェーハ上の先に形成された層からの元素の望ましくない外部移動をもたらす可能性がある。それに加えて、積層体方法において多成分膜の化学量論的組成を制御することが困難である。HfSiOx膜の誘電定数(k)、結晶化温度、及び屈折率は、従来的な1化学的連続前駆体パルス法(積層体法など)によっては容易に制御できないものである。更に、従来型の一度に1化学的前駆体の連続パルス及びパージを用いて望ましい厚みの膜を形成するのに要するサイクル時間は非実用的であり、将来的なIC製造のためには過大な時間を要する。 An alternative to conventional CVD processes that deposit very thin films is atomic layer deposition (ALD). ALD has several advantages over conventional CVD. ALD can be performed at relatively low temperatures to match industry trends towards lower temperatures and can form matching thin film layers. An existing method of depositing a multi-component film such as an HfxSiyO 2 (x + y = 1) film using ALD processing is to deposit a multilayer film of HfO 2 and SiO 2 films using a continuous vapor deposition method. is there. That is, the precursor chemicals are not mixed; instead, the Hf-containing precursor and the Si-containing precursor are independently and continuously introduced into the chamber in a pulsed manner to form a stack of HfO and SiO 2 layers, respectively. Form. In fact, any mixing of the precursors is limited and one precursor is purged from the chamber before the second precursor is pulsed. With the laminate film formed to the desired thickness, the film is annealed to reach a more continuous composition throughout the film. This approach of accumulating layers of different stack films results in many electron traps in the film due to multiple interfaces, which requires high temperature thermal annealing to fix the traps. The addition of a high temperature thermal annealing step can increase the cost and time of manufacturing the semiconductor, and can also lead to undesirable external migration of elements from previously formed layers on the wafer. In addition, it is difficult to control the stoichiometric composition of the multi-component film in the laminate method. The dielectric constant (k), crystallization temperature, and refractive index of the HfSiOx film cannot be easily controlled by a conventional one-chemical continuous precursor pulse method (such as a laminate method). Furthermore, the cycle time required to form a film of the desired thickness using a conventional continuous pulse and purge of one chemical precursor at a time is impractical and is excessive for future IC manufacturing. It takes time.
混合前駆体を用いて多成分膜を作製する試みは、従来的CVD法に限定されてきた。例えば、共にSenzaki他に付与された米国特許第6,537,613号及び第6,238,734号(特許’613及び’734)は、直接液体注入によって金属及びメタロイド化合物を含む組成勾配を生成するためのシステム及び方法を総括的に開示している。直接液体注入(DLI)においては、金属及びメタロイド前駆体は一緒に混合され、堆積システム内への混合物の注入よりも前に無溶媒液体混合物が形成される。 Attempts to make multi-component films using mixed precursors have been limited to conventional CVD methods. For example, US Pat. Nos. 6,537,613 and 6,238,734 (patents '613 and' 734), both granted to Senzaki et al., Generate compositional gradients containing metal and metalloid compounds by direct liquid injection. A system and method for doing so are generally disclosed. In direct liquid injection (DLI), the metal and metalloid precursors are mixed together to form a solvent-free liquid mixture prior to injection of the mixture into the deposition system.
しかし、特許’613及び’734に説明した方法には、いくつかの欠点が付随している。具体的には、注入されるのが液体混合物である。従って、液体混合物が完全には混合されない時、基板上には不均一な組成及び勾配を有する膜が形成することになる。それに加えて、適正な容積のサンプルが供給された場合でも、各前駆体が固有の沸点、蒸気圧、及び揮発度を有するので、混合物が均等に気化することになるという保証はない。更に、前駆体間の沸点の差異が大きい時は、1つの前駆体が第2のものの沸点で分解して微粒子又は汚染物質を形成する場合がある。一般的に、前駆体が適度に混合されずに不均一な膜組成をもたらすか、又は2つの蒸気の混合が気相での先行反応を発生させて、ウェーハ上に堆積する粒子又は汚染物質の形成をもたらすかのいずれかである。
従って、多成分膜の作製方法の更なる発展の必要性が存在する。特に、ALD処理を用いて多成分膜を作製する方法に対する必要性が存在する。更に、方法が多成分膜の化学量論的組成又は勾配の容易な制御を提供することが望ましい。
However, the methods described in patents '613 and' 734 have some drawbacks associated with them. Specifically, it is the liquid mixture that is injected. Therefore, when the liquid mixture is not completely mixed, a film having a non-uniform composition and gradient is formed on the substrate. In addition, even when the correct volume of sample is supplied, there is no guarantee that the mixture will vaporize evenly because each precursor has a unique boiling point, vapor pressure, and volatility. Furthermore, when the difference in boiling point between the precursors is large, one precursor may decompose at the boiling point of the second to form fine particles or contaminants. In general, the precursors are not properly mixed resulting in a non-uniform film composition, or the mixing of the two vapors causes a pre-reaction in the gas phase to cause particles or contaminants to deposit on the wafer. Either resulting in formation.
Accordingly, there is a need for further development of a method for producing multi-component films. In particular, there is a need for a method of making a multi-component film using ALD processing. It is further desirable that the method provide easy control of the stoichiometric composition or gradient of the multi-component film.
総括的には、本発明人は、気化した前駆体の混合物が、原子層堆積(ALD)処理における単一パルス段階中にチャンバ内に一緒に存在して多成分膜を形成するような気化前駆体の混合をもたらす方法を発見した。気化前駆体は、少なくとも1つの異なる化学成分から成り、そのような異なる成分が単層を形成して多成分膜を生成することになる。本発明人は、この方法を「共注入ALD」と称している。そのような方法は、気化前駆体がALD処理においてチャンバ内に別々にパルス導入されて成分の1つのみを含有する別々の単層を形成する従来技術から離脱したものである。 In general, the inventor believes that a vaporized precursor mixture is present together in a chamber during a single pulse stage in an atomic layer deposition (ALD) process to form a multi-component film. I found a way to bring about the mixing of the body. The vaporized precursor consists of at least one different chemical component, and such different components will form a monolayer to form a multi-component film. The inventors refer to this method as “co-injection ALD”. Such a method is a departure from the prior art where vaporized precursors are pulsed separately into the chamber in an ALD process to form separate monolayers containing only one of the components.
本発明の1つの態様は、気化前駆体を一緒に混合し、次に前駆体の混合物がALDチャンバ内に存在するように気化前駆体を注入又は共注入することにより、多成分誘電体膜を作製するためのシステム及び方法を提供する。本明細書で用いられる時の用語「多成分」膜は、2以上の金属又はメタロイド元素を含有する膜を意味する。以下に限定はしないが、金属、合金、混合金属酸化物、ケイ酸塩、窒化物、酸窒化物、及びそれらの混合物を含む様々な多成分膜を本発明によって形成することができる。 One aspect of the present invention provides a multi-component dielectric film by mixing vaporized precursors together and then injecting or co-injecting vaporized precursors such that the precursor mixture is present in the ALD chamber. Systems and methods for making are provided. The term “multicomponent” film as used herein means a film containing two or more metals or metalloid elements. Various multi-component films can be formed by the present invention including, but not limited to, metals, alloys, mixed metal oxides, silicates, nitrides, oxynitrides, and mixtures thereof.
本発明の一実施形態では、各々が少なくとも1つの異なる化学成分を含有する2以上の気化前駆体が処理チャンバに一緒に搬送されて基板の表面上に単層を形成し、この単層が別々の化学成分の各々を含有することを特徴とする、原子層堆積によって基板の表面上に薄膜を形成する方法が提供される。一般的に、共注入という用語は、少なくとも1つの異なる化学成分を有する2以上の前駆体が、複数の成分を有する膜が生成されるようにチャンバ内に存在することを意味するために用いられる。これは、前駆体を蒸気状態又は液体状態(エーロゾル)の何れかで処理チャンバ内に一緒に注入又は搬送することにより、又は前駆体を処理チャンバ内で混合することにより達成することができる。処理チャンバ内に導入する前の前駆体の混合は、好ましいが必要というわけではない。 In one embodiment of the invention, two or more vaporized precursors, each containing at least one different chemical component, are transported together into a processing chamber to form a monolayer on the surface of the substrate, the monolayer being separated. There is provided a method of forming a thin film on the surface of a substrate by atomic layer deposition, characterized by containing each of the chemical components of: In general, the term co-implantation is used to mean that two or more precursors having at least one different chemical component are present in the chamber such that a film having a plurality of components is produced. . This can be accomplished by injecting or transporting the precursors together in the processing chamber either in the vapor state or in the liquid state (aerosol), or by mixing the precursors in the processing chamber. Mixing precursors prior to introduction into the processing chamber is preferred but not necessary.
別の態様において、本発明は、多成分膜を形成するためのシステムを提供する。一実施形態では、システムは、一般的に、各々がマニフォルドに連結された1以上の気化器を含む。マニフォルドは、気化器によって生成された気化前駆体を混合するように構成される。マニフォルドはまた、反応又は堆積チャンバへの入口に連結され、混合した前駆体は、入口を通じてチャンバ内に注入される。一実施形態では、入口は、シャワーヘッド・インジェクタのようなインジェクタから成る。前駆体をマニフォルドではなくインジェクタで混合することができるということも可能である。 In another aspect, the present invention provides a system for forming a multi-component film. In one embodiment, the system generally includes one or more vaporizers, each coupled to a manifold. The manifold is configured to mix the vaporized precursor produced by the vaporizer. The manifold is also connected to the inlet to the reaction or deposition chamber, and the mixed precursor is injected into the chamber through the inlet. In one embodiment, the inlet comprises an injector such as a showerhead injector. It is also possible that the precursor can be mixed with an injector instead of a manifold.
本発明の更に別の態様においては、組成勾配を有する多成分膜を形成するためのシステム及び方法が提供される。一実施形態では、各々が少なくとも1つの異なる化学成分を含有する2以上の気化前駆体が、処理チャンバ内に一緒に注入されて基板の表面上に単層を形成し、チャンバ内に注入された気化前駆体の各々の気体流量は、1以上の異なる化学成分の望ましい組成勾配が膜に形成されるように選択的に制御されることを特徴とする、多成分膜を形成する方法が提供される。 In yet another aspect of the invention, systems and methods are provided for forming multicomponent films having compositional gradients. In one embodiment, two or more vaporized precursors, each containing at least one different chemical component, are injected together into the processing chamber to form a monolayer on the surface of the substrate and injected into the chamber. A method of forming a multi-component film is provided, wherein the gas flow rate of each of the vaporization precursors is selectively controlled such that a desired composition gradient of one or more different chemical components is formed in the film. The
本発明の更に別の態様においては、シリコンリッチな下層、窒素リッチな上層、及びこの上層と下層の間の少なくとも1つのハフニウムリッチな層を含む、組成勾配を有する誘電体膜が提供される。一実施形態では、ホウ素の拡散を阻止するために、窒素がシリコン基板−誘電体境界面の近く又はその上方に選択的に堆積される。更に別の実施形態では、誘電体の同等の物理的酸化物厚みとシリコン及び窒化物誘電体間の境界面の品質とに負担を掛けずにホウ素拡散を阻止し、例えばより高いトラップ密度をもたらすためのシステム及び方法を提供することが望ましい。一実施形態では、組成勾配は、誘電体と基板を「緩衝」するために使用することができる。例えば、基板がシリコンである時、第1の層は、シリコンリッチで誘電体を構成する第2の堆積金属がより少ない量で堆積される。誘電体を構成する堆積金属を主として含む第2の層は、第1の層の上に、実質的により少ない量のシリコンに加えて堆積される。一部の実施形態では、隣接層の表面特性及び化学的性質を調合するために、付加的な層を追加することができる。様々な実施形態では、各層は、酸化、還元、窒化、及びその組合せを原位置で行うことができる。 In yet another aspect of the invention, a dielectric film having a composition gradient is provided that includes a silicon-rich lower layer, a nitrogen-rich upper layer, and at least one hafnium-rich layer between the upper and lower layers. In one embodiment, nitrogen is selectively deposited near or above the silicon substrate-dielectric interface to prevent boron diffusion. In yet another embodiment, boron diffusion is blocked without burdening the equivalent physical oxide thickness of the dielectric and the quality of the interface between the silicon and nitride dielectric, resulting in, for example, a higher trap density. It would be desirable to provide a system and method for this. In one embodiment, the composition gradient can be used to “buffer” the dielectric and the substrate. For example, when the substrate is silicon, the first layer is deposited with a smaller amount of the second deposited metal that is silicon rich and constitutes the dielectric. A second layer comprising primarily the deposited metal that constitutes the dielectric is deposited on top of the first layer in addition to a substantially smaller amount of silicon.

Other aspects, embodiments and advantages of the present invention will become apparent upon reading the following detailed description of the invention and the claims and referring to the drawings.
総括的には、本発明人は、基板の表面上に複数の化合物を有する単層を形成する原子層堆積(ALD)処理における単一パルス段階中に気化前駆体の混合物がチャンバ内に存在するような、気化前駆体の混合をもたらす方法を発見した。気化前駆体は、異なる化学成分から成り、そのような成分は多成分膜を形成することになる。本発明人は、本方法を「共注入ALD」と称する。そのような方法は、ALD処理において気化前駆体がチャンバに別々に搬送されるか又は別々にパルス導入される従来技術から離脱したものである。以下に限定はしないが、金属、合金、混合金属酸化物、ケイ酸塩、窒化物、酸窒化物、及びそれらの混合物を含む様々な多成分膜を本発明によって形成することができる。 Overall, the inventor presents a mixture of vaporized precursors in the chamber during a single pulse phase in an atomic layer deposition (ALD) process that forms a monolayer with multiple compounds on the surface of the substrate. We have discovered a method that results in mixing vaporized precursors. Vaporization precursors are composed of different chemical components, and such components will form a multi-component film. The inventors refer to this method as “co-injection ALD”. Such a method is a departure from the prior art where vaporized precursors are separately transported into the chamber or pulsed separately in the ALD process. Various multi-component films can be formed by the present invention including, but not limited to, metals, alloys, mixed metal oxides, silicates, nitrides, oxynitrides, and mixtures thereof.

Systems and methods for selectively depositing nitrogen are provided. In yet another embodiment, boron diffusion is prevented without burdening the equivalent physical oxide thickness of the dielectric and the quality of the interface between the silicon and nitride dielectric, resulting in, for example, a higher trap density. It would be desirable to provide a system and method for this.

各気化器は、少なくとも1つの堆積金属を含む単一の堆積前駆体を収容する。各気化器は、質量流コントローラ及び温度制御ユニットに接続される。質量流コントローラ及び温度ユニットは、処理チャンバ内に存在する堆積前駆体の濃度を加減するように選択的に制御することができる。一実施形態では、各質量流コントローラは、システムを通過する搬送ガスの流量を加減し、その結果、搬送ガスは、堆積前駆体を希釈してマニフォルド又は処理チャンバ内に輸送する。
一部の一連の実施形態では、気化器は、少なくとも1つの堆積金属を含む単一の堆積前駆体を気化させるバブラーである。搬送ガスを含む加圧ガスは、堆積前駆体内に気泡導入される。加圧ガスの流量は、処理チャンバ内に存在する堆積前駆体の濃度を調節するように選択的に制御することができる。
Each vaporizer contains a single deposition precursor that includes at least one deposited metal. Each vaporizer is connected to a mass flow controller and a temperature control unit. The mass flow controller and temperature unit can be selectively controlled to increase or decrease the concentration of deposition precursor present in the processing chamber. In one embodiment, each mass flow controller modifies the flow rate of the carrier gas through the system so that the carrier gas dilutes and transports the deposition precursor into the manifold or processing chamber.
In some series of embodiments, the vaporizer is a bubbler that vaporizes a single deposition precursor comprising at least one deposited metal. A pressurized gas containing a carrier gas is bubbled into the deposition precursor. The flow rate of the pressurized gas can be selectively controlled to adjust the concentration of deposition precursor present in the processing chamber.
一実施形態では、処理チャンバ内への供給の前の堆積前駆体の混合をマニフォルドが促進する。一部の実施形態では、マニフォルドは、T接合空洞を含み、これは、処理チャンバ内への供給の前の堆積前駆体を収容して混合する。マニフォルドは、マニフォルド内での凝縮を防止するために加熱することができ、処理チャンバ内への堆積前駆体の流れが促進される。
堆積前駆体は、一般的にガス入口を通過して供給され、堆積前駆体の単層が、基板の表面上に化学的及び/又は物理的に取り込まれる。基板は、シリコン、金属、合金、ガラス、又は、ポリマー、プラスチック、有機又は無機加工製品とすることができる。ガス入口は、様々な形態をとることができる。一例において、ガス入口は、シャワーヘッド・インジェクタという1つのインジェクタから成る。代替的に、堆積前駆体は、複数のインジェクタによって基板表面に供給される。
In one embodiment, the manifold facilitates mixing of deposition precursors prior to delivery into the processing chamber. In some embodiments, the manifold includes a T-junction cavity that contains and mixes the deposition precursor prior to delivery into the processing chamber. The manifold can be heated to prevent condensation within the manifold, facilitating the flow of deposition precursor into the processing chamber.
The deposition precursor is typically supplied through a gas inlet, and a monolayer of deposition precursor is chemically and / or physically incorporated on the surface of the substrate. The substrate can be silicon, metal, alloy, glass, or a polymer, plastic, organic or inorganic processed product. The gas inlet can take a variety of forms. In one example, the gas inlet consists of one injector, a showerhead injector. Alternatively, the deposition precursor is supplied to the substrate surface by a plurality of injectors.
一般的に、単一ウェーハチャンバが使用される時、基板は、堆積中に静電チャック又は真空チャックというウェーハ担持装置上に支持される。一実施形態では、チャックは、伝導、対流、放射、又は非放射処理、又はそれらの共用により、基板を冷却又は加熱することができる。代替的に、ウェーハ担持装置は、バッチ処理のために複数の基板を支持するボート又はカセットとすることができる。
入口ポートは、単層又は基板の表面の連続的な酸化、還元、又は窒化を容易にするために、処理チャンバ内に原位置で酸化、還元、又は窒化反応物を切替可能に供給する。
In general, when a single wafer chamber is used, the substrate is supported on a wafer carrier, called an electrostatic chuck or vacuum chuck, during deposition. In one embodiment, the chuck can cool or heat the substrate by conduction, convection, radiation, or non-radiation treatment, or a combination thereof. Alternatively, the wafer carrier can be a boat or cassette that supports multiple substrates for batch processing.
The inlet port switchably supplies an in-situ oxidation, reduction, or nitridation reactant into the processing chamber to facilitate continuous oxidation, reduction, or nitridation of the monolayer or substrate surface.
本発明の別の態様において、シリコンリッチな下層、窒素リッチな上層、及びこの上層と下層の間の少なくとも1つのハフニウムリッチな層を含む、組成勾配を有する誘電体膜が提供される。一実施形態では、ホウ素拡散を阻止するために、窒素がシリコン基板−誘電体境界面の近く又はその上方に選択的に堆積される。更に別の実施形態では、誘電体の同等物理的酸化物厚みとシリコン及び窒化物誘電体間の境界面の品質とに負担を掛けることなくホウ素の拡散を阻止し、例えばより高いトラップ密度をもたらすためのシステム及び方法を提供することが望ましい。 In another aspect of the invention, a dielectric film having a composition gradient is provided that includes a silicon-rich lower layer, a nitrogen-rich upper layer, and at least one hafnium-rich layer between the upper and lower layers. In one embodiment, nitrogen is selectively deposited near or above the silicon substrate-dielectric interface to prevent boron diffusion. In yet another embodiment, boron diffusion is prevented without burdening the equivalent physical oxide thickness of the dielectric and the quality of the interface between the silicon and nitride dielectric, resulting in, for example, a higher trap density. It would be desirable to provide a system and method for this.
更に、本発明は、多成分酸窒化物膜を作製するためのシステム及び方法を提供し、多成分膜が上述の方法によって形成され、次に、この膜は、オゾン、酸素、過酸化物、水、空気、亜酸化窒素、一酸化窒素、H2O2、N−オキシド、又はそれらの混合物から成る群から選択される酸化反応物を用い高温で酸化される。特に有利なことには、酸化は、原位置で実行することができる。酸化に引続き、励起された窒素源が連続的に処理チャンバに送られ、酸化層と高温で反応することができ、酸窒化物が形成される。この場合もまた、この段階は原位置で実行される。 Furthermore, the present invention provides a system and method for making a multi-component oxynitride film, wherein the multi-component film is formed by the method described above, and then the film comprises ozone, oxygen, peroxide, water, air, nitrous oxide, nitric oxide, H 2 O 2, N-oxides, or oxidized at high temperatures with an oxidizing reactant selected from the group consisting of mixtures thereof. Particularly advantageously, the oxidation can be carried out in situ. Following oxidation, an excited nitrogen source is continuously sent to the processing chamber where it can react with the oxide layer at high temperatures to form oxynitrides. Again, this step is performed in situ.
本発明は、窒化反応物を含有する前駆体をチャンバ内に混合し、ALD処理を比較的低温で実行することにより、多成分酸窒化物膜を作製するためのシステム及び方法を提供する。適切な窒化剤は、アンモニア、重水素置換アンモニア、15N−アンモニア、アミン又はアミド、ヒドラジン、アルキルヒドラジン、窒素ガス、一酸化窒素、亜酸化窒素、窒素ラジカル、N−オキシド、原子状窒素、又はそれらの混合物から成る群から選択することができる。 The present invention provides a system and method for making a multi-component oxynitride film by mixing a precursor containing a nitriding reactant into a chamber and performing an ALD process at a relatively low temperature. Suitable nitriding agents are ammonia, deuterium substituted ammonia, 15 N-ammonia, amine or amide, hydrazine, alkyl hydrazine, nitrogen gas, nitric oxide, nitrous oxide, nitrogen radicals, N-oxide, atomic nitrogen, or It can be selected from the group consisting of mixtures thereof.
特に有利なことには、本発明の多成分膜は、組成勾配を有して形成される。組成勾配は、誘電体及び基板を「緩衝」するために使用することができる。例えば、基板がシリコンである時、第1の層は、シリコンリッチで誘電体を構成する第2の堆積金属がより少ない量で堆積される。誘電体を構成する堆積金属を主に含む第2の層は、第1の層の上に、実質的により少ない量のシリコンに加えて堆積される。一部の実施形態では、隣接層の表面特性及び化学的性質を調合するために、付加的な層を追加することができる。様々な実施形態では、各層に酸化、還元、窒化、及びその組合せを原位置で行うことができる。組成勾配は、膜内の屈折率勾配もまた提供し、これは、膜の独特な光学特性をもたらすものである。 Particularly advantageously, the multi-component film of the present invention is formed with a composition gradient. The composition gradient can be used to “buffer” the dielectric and the substrate. For example, when the substrate is silicon, the first layer is deposited with a smaller amount of the second deposited metal that is silicon rich and constitutes the dielectric. A second layer mainly comprising the deposited metal that constitutes the dielectric is deposited on top of the first layer in addition to a substantially smaller amount of silicon. In some embodiments, additional layers can be added to blend the surface properties and chemistry of adjacent layers. In various embodiments, each layer can be oxidized, reduced, nitrided, and combinations thereof in situ. The composition gradient also provides a refractive index gradient within the film, which provides the unique optical properties of the film.

1つの好ましい実施形態では、Mがハフニウムである第1の堆積前駆体とMがシリコンである第2の堆積前駆体の2つの堆積前駆体が選択される。第1及び第2の堆積前駆体の両方は、同じ配位子(L)を有し、第1及び第2の堆積前駆体が混合される時に配位子交換が起こるのを回避する。適切な配位子には、以下に限定はしないが、ジメチルアミン、ジエチルアミン、ジエチルメチルアミン、又は第3級ブトキシドがある。
It is advantageous to select the ligands (L) to be the same in each of the deposition precursors, and to avoid ligand exchange when each of the precursors is mixed in vapor form. Ligand exchange can result in the production of particulates, which can adversely affect the quality of the deposited film. Also suitable are ligands that do not undergo ligand exchange in vapor form.
In one preferred embodiment, two deposition precursors are selected, a first deposition precursor where M is hafnium and a second deposition precursor where M is silicon. Both the first and second deposition precursors have the same ligand (L) to avoid ligand exchange when the first and second deposition precursors are mixed.

The deposition precursor is generally vaporized using a vaporizer. Each vaporizer contains only a single deposition precursor. Each vaporizer is connected to a mass flow controller and a heating mechanism. In accordance with one embodiment of the present invention, a composition gradient of one or more of the chemical components in the deposited film is provided as described above. In one example, selective control of composition is achieved by control of the amount of precursor vaporized.

1つの好ましい実施形態では、気化した堆積前駆体は、より均一な膜を提供して膜の組成の最大の制御を可能にするために、反応チャンバ内への導入の前にマニフォルド内で混合される。しかし、インジェクタなどのようなガス入口に各前駆体を別々に送ることも可能であり、インジェクタは、ガスがチャンバ内に注入される時にそれらを混合し、従って、独立したマニフォルドの必要がなくなる。本発明の教示の観点からは、様々な機械的実施形態が適切であり、本発明は、何れかの1つの機械的構成には限定されない。本発明の教示は、異なる化学成分を有する前駆体の混合物が反応チャンバ内に存在して1つの単層内に複数の成分を有する膜を形成するように、様々な異なる前駆体の少なくとも何らかの混合が起こるということを提供するものである。 In one preferred embodiment, the vaporized deposition precursor is mixed in the manifold prior to introduction into the reaction chamber to provide a more uniform film and allow maximum control of the film composition. The However, it is also possible to send each precursor separately to a gas inlet, such as an injector, which mixes them as the gas is injected into the chamber, thus eliminating the need for a separate manifold. In view of the teachings of the present invention, various mechanical embodiments are suitable, and the present invention is not limited to any one mechanical configuration. The teachings of the present invention teach at least some mixing of various different precursors such that a mixture of precursors having different chemical components is present in the reaction chamber to form a film having multiple components within a single layer.

反応物ガスは、入口103を通じて処理チャンバ102に導入され、基板112の表面上の堆積混合物を含む単層を処理し、及び/又はこれと反応する。反応物ガスは、ガス入口114内の堆積前駆体と混合して又は処理チャンバ内102に直接に順番に又は同時に供給することができる。
様々の反応物ガスを用途により使用することができる。反応物ガスが酸化ガスの場合、単層は酸化される。反応物ガスが還元がスの場合、単層は還元される。同様に、反応物ガスが窒化ガスの場合、単層は窒化される。適切な酸化ガスには、オゾン、酸素、一重項酸素、三重項酸素、水、過酸化物、空気、亜酸化窒素、一酸化窒素、H2O2、及びそれらの混合物がある。適切な還元ガスは水素を含む。適切な窒化ガスには、アンモニア、重水素置換アンモニア、15N−アンモニア、ヒドラジン、アルキルヒドラジン、二酸化窒素、亜酸化窒素、窒素ラジカル、一酸化窒素、N−オキシド、アミド、アミン、又はそれらの混合物がある。別の実施形態では、堆積前駆体が基板112上に堆積した後に、基板112の単層を窒化、酸化、還元、又はアニールすることができる第2の処理装置に真空中で基板112を移送することができる。

一例において、ALDによってHfSiNを含む多成分膜を形成するために、堆積前駆体TEMA−Hf及びTEMA−Siが気化され、次に、一緒に混合されて処理チャンバに搬送され(「パルスト」とも呼ばれる)、アンモニアのような窒素含有源を加えてHfSiNが形成される。
一例において、ALD処理は、約25から800℃の範囲で、より通常的には約50から600℃の範囲で、最も通常的には約100から500℃の範囲で実施される。処理チャンバ内の圧力は、約0.001mTorrから600Torrの範囲、より通常的には約0.01mTorrから100Torrの範囲、最も通常的には約0.1mTorrから10Torrの範囲である。この圧力範囲は、パルス段階及びパージ段階の両方に及ぶものである。全体の不活性ガス流量は、バブラーが使用されている時はバブラー内の搬送ガスを含めて一般的に約0から20,000sccmの範囲、より通常的には約0から5,000sccmの範囲である。
任意的に、堆積前駆体が基板112上に堆積した後に、基板112の単層を窒化、酸化、還元、又はアニールすることができる第2の処理装置に真空中で基板112を移送することができる。
In one example, deposition precursors TEMA-Hf and TEMA-Si are vaporized to form a multi-component film comprising HfSiN by ALD, then mixed together and transported to a processing chamber (also referred to as “pulsed”) ), A nitrogen-containing source such as ammonia is added to form HfSiN.
In one example, the ALD process is performed in the range of about 25 to 800 ° C, more usually in the range of about 50 to 600 ° C, and most usually in the range of about 100 to 500 ° C. The pressure in the processing chamber is in the range of about 0.001 mTorr to 600 Torr, more usually in the range of about 0.01 mTorr to 100 Torr, and most typically in the range of about 0.1 mTorr to 10 Torr. This pressure range extends to both the pulse and purge phases.

図2は、本発明の多層ゲート誘電体の断面図である。第1の層200は、高移動度(より高いトランジスタ速度)及び基板112に対する安定な境界面という望ましい特性を促進するように選択される。適切には、第1の層は、高い誘電定数を有する金属ケイ酸塩又は酸化物である。好ましくは、第1の層は、シリコンに富んだ金属ケイ酸塩である。第1の層の金属ケイ酸塩内のシリコン成分は、純金属又は金属酸化物と基板112上の境界面二酸化シリコン残留物との間の不適合性を緩和することによって境界面欠陥の形成を低減させる。金属ケイ酸塩内の金属成分は、第1の層の誘電体特性を向上させるのに役立つ。本発明の適切な金属、合金、又は混合金属酸化物、窒化物、ケイ酸塩、又は酸窒化物は、以下に限定はしないが、Ti、Zr、Hf、Ta、W、Mo、Ni、Si、Cr、Y、La、C、Nb、Zn、Fe、Cu、Al、Sn、Ce、Pr、Sm、Eu、Tb、Dy、Ho、Er、Tm、Yb、Lu、Ga、In、Ru、Mn、Sr、Ba、Ca、V、Co、Os、Rh、Ir、Pd、Pt、Bi、Sn、Pb、Tl、Ge、又はそれらの混合物を含む。
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of the multilayer gate dielectric of the present invention. The
本発明の一実施形態は、図3の流れ図に示されている。この例は、説明目的のためのみに示され、本発明を限定することは何ら意味しない。例示的な実施形態では、第1の前駆体気化器は、Hfを含む第1の前駆体を有して提供される(段階150)。Siを含む第2の前駆体を有する第2の前駆体気化器もまた提供される(段階152)。基板又はウェーハが、反応チャンバ内のチャック上に配置され(段階154)、処理チャンバが排気され(段階156)、基板は、所定の処理温度に加熱される(段階158)。上述のように、処理温度は、好ましくは約50から800℃、より好ましくは約100から500℃である。第1及び第2の前駆体は、リザーバを通過するガスの気泡化によって気化し、第1及び第2の気化前駆体を形成し(段階160)、混合し(段階162)、反応チャンバに流れる(164)。混合した第1及び第2の気化前駆体は、シャワーヘッド又はインジェクションノズルというガス入口を通過して基板上に導かれる(166)。 One embodiment of the present invention is illustrated in the flow diagram of FIG. This example is shown for illustrative purposes only and is not meant to limit the invention in any way. In an exemplary embodiment, a first precursor vaporizer is provided having a first precursor comprising Hf (stage 150). A second precursor vaporizer having a second precursor comprising Si is also provided (stage 152). A substrate or wafer is placed on a chuck in the reaction chamber (step 154), the processing chamber is evacuated (step 156), and the substrate is heated to a predetermined processing temperature (step 158). As mentioned above, the processing temperature is preferably about 50 to 800 ° C, more preferably about 100 to 500 ° C. The first and second precursors are vaporized by bubbling the gas through the reservoir to form first and second vaporized precursors (stage 160), mixed (stage 162), and flow into the reaction chamber. (164). The mixed first and second vaporized precursors are guided onto the substrate through a gas inlet called a showerhead or an injection nozzle (166).
本発明は、図2に示すような組成勾配を有する多成分膜又は層を更に提供する。図1及び図2を参照すると、シリコン基板112上の第1の層200の堆積が、処理チャンバ102内で行われる。一例において、HfSiOの膜が形成され、ハフニウムは、気化器107内で気化し、シリコンは、気化器109内で気化する。ハフニウム及びシリコンの堆積前駆体蒸気は、搬送ガスによってマニフォルド104内に流し込まれる。マニフォルド内部で、堆積前駆体は混合し、ガス入口114に堆積混合物として供給される。ガス入口114は、堆積混合物を処理チャンバ102に送り、堆積混合物は、基板112の表面に接触して表面上に取り込まれ、基板112上に堆積混合物の単層を形成する。処理チャンバ112が不活性ガスでパージされるか又は真空下で排気された後に、オゾンガスが、入口103を通じて処理チャンバ102に連続的にパルス導入される。反応物ガスは、基板112上の単層を飽和してハフニウム、シリコン、及び酸素を含む原子層を形成し、その場合、シリコン含量はハフニウムよりも高い。
The present invention further provides a multi-component film or layer having a composition gradient as shown in FIG. With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2, the deposition of the
図4は、堆積前駆体124及び126の流量を変化させることにより、ハフニウムに対するシリコンの濃度を調整して多成分膜をもたらすことができることを示している。図5は、シリコン又はハフニウム濃度における変化が、x=0−1の場合に化学式HfxSi1-xO2によって殆どの場合に支配されることを示している。
HfxSi1-xO2膜に関するXPSの研究は、膜内の原子の結合配列の解明に役立った。図6aは、膜内のハフニウムのXPSスペクトルを表すものである。吸収帯の強度及び結合エネルギの大きさに基づいて、ハフニウムは、大部分がケイ酸塩の形態で見出される。ごく僅かのHfO2のような不純物がスペクトルに認められる。ここで図6bを参照すると、シリコンのXPSスペクトルは、シリコンもまた大部分がケイ酸塩として存在し、SiO2の生成は全くないか又は僅かであることを明らかにしている。XPSの結果は、本発明の利点を明確にするものである。すなわち、HfO2又はSiO2のパッチを全く有しないか又は僅かに有する均一なケイ酸ハフニウム膜の形成である。
FIG. 4 shows that by changing the flow rate of the
XPS studies on Hf x Si 1-x O 2 films helped to elucidate the bonding arrangement of atoms in the film. FIG. 6a represents the XPS spectrum of hafnium in the film. Based on the strength of the absorption band and the magnitude of the binding energy, hafnium is found mostly in the form of silicates. Very few impurities such as HfO 2 are observed in the spectrum. Referring now to FIG. 6b, the XPS spectrum of silicon reveals that silicon is also mostly present as silicate, with little or no formation of SiO 2 . The XPS results clarify the advantages of the present invention. That is, the formation of a uniform hafnium silicate film with little or no HfO 2 or SiO 2 patches.
ここで図7を参照すると、本発明の誘電体膜の屈折率は、シリコン含量の増加に伴って低下する。図7は、N2雰囲気内での膜の900℃での加熱が熱変性を引き起こさないことを示している。
図8は、堆積速度が温度依存性であることを示している。HfxSi1-xO2の線形成長速度は、温度と共に増大する。しかし、400℃を超えると、原子層堆積(ALD)処理が化学気相堆積(CVD)機構を使用するので、堆積速度が実質的に増大する。様々な厚みにおける、HFラストシリコン基板上に400℃で堆積したHfxSi1-xO2膜の「透過電子顕微鏡(TEM)」断面画像は、約1nmと測定された類似の境界層厚みを示している。図9a、図9b、及び図9cを比較すれば、各々は、2.3nm、4.3nm、及び6.5nmの誘電体厚みをそれぞれ有するが、境界面の厚みは誘電体厚みと無関係である。これは、ALD処理においてオゾンが酸化反応物として使用された時に、境界面の酸化が、膜作製の初期の間に生起する場合があることを示唆するものである。
Referring now to FIG. 7, the refractive index of the dielectric film of the present invention decreases with increasing silicon content. FIG. 7 shows that heating the film at 900 ° C. in an N 2 atmosphere does not cause thermal denaturation.
FIG. 8 shows that the deposition rate is temperature dependent. The linear growth rate of Hf x Si 1-x O 2 increases with temperature. However, above 400 ° C., the deposition rate is substantially increased because the atomic layer deposition (ALD) process uses a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) mechanism. “Transmission electron microscope (TEM)” cross-sectional images of Hf x Si 1-x O 2 films deposited at 400 ° C. on HF last silicon substrates at various thicknesses show a similar boundary layer thickness measured at about 1 nm. Show. Comparing FIGS. 9a, 9b, and 9c, each has a dielectric thickness of 2.3 nm, 4.3 nm, and 6.5 nm, respectively, but the interface thickness is independent of the dielectric thickness. . This suggests that when ozone is used as an oxidation reactant in the ALD process, interface oxidation may occur during the initial film fabrication.
高温での加熱は、誘電体のアモルファス状態を変化させないが、アニール処理は、境界面酸化物層を減少させる。図10は、アニール後のHfxSi1-xO2膜のTEM画像を示している。境界面酸化層の厚みを図9と比較すると、アニール処理は、境界層を0.3nm低減するように見え、容量−電圧(CV)又は電流−電圧(IV)関係の何れも変化させない。図11は、膜がアニールに対して電気的に安定であることを示している。容量等価厚み(CET)及び低漏れ電流密度のいずれも、アニール段階によって大きく影響されなかった。 Heating at a high temperature does not change the amorphous state of the dielectric, but the annealing process reduces the interface oxide layer. FIG. 10 shows a TEM image of the annealed Hf x Si 1-x O 2 film. Comparing the thickness of the interface oxide layer with FIG. 9, the annealing treatment appears to reduce the interface layer by 0.3 nm and does not change either the capacitance-voltage (CV) or current-voltage (IV) relationship. FIG. 11 shows that the film is electrically stable to annealing. Neither the capacitance equivalent thickness (CET) nor the low leakage current density was significantly affected by the annealing step.
900℃までのアニール処理中の50nm厚Hf0.34Si0.66O2膜に関する応力ヒステリシス測定値がモニタされた。図12に見られるように、昇温の間での一定の傾斜は、堆積したHf0.34Si0.66O2膜とシリコン基板との間の熱膨張におけるかなり安定した違いを示している。約700℃では、応力はより張力的になり、微結晶状態における形態学的な変化を示している。300℃でTEMAHf及びO3からALDによって堆積した約450℃(図示せず)での応力増加を有するHfO2膜と比較すれば、HfxSi1-xO2における膜応力転移温度の上昇は、シリコン含量の増加に起因している。従って、シリコン含量の増加は、膜が結晶化する温度を上昇させる。 Stress hysteresis measurements for a 50 nm thick Hf 0.34 Si 0.66 O 2 film during annealing up to 900 ° C. were monitored. As can be seen in FIG. 12, the constant slope during the temperature rise shows a fairly stable difference in thermal expansion between the deposited Hf 0.34 Si 0.66 O 2 film and the silicon substrate. At about 700 ° C., the stress becomes more tensile, indicating a morphological change in the microcrystalline state. Compared to the HfO 2 film having an increase in stress at about 450 ° C. (not shown) deposited by ALD from TEMAHf and O 3 at 300 ° C., the increase in film stress transition temperature in Hf x Si 1-x O 2 is This is due to the increase in silicon content. Thus, increasing the silicon content increases the temperature at which the film crystallizes.
ハフニウムの適切な供給源には、ハフニウム・ジアルキルアミド、ハフニウム・アルコキシド、ハフニウム・ジケトネート、又はハロゲン化ハフニウムがある。シリコンの適切な供給源には、ハロゲン化シリコン、シリコンジアルキルアミド又はアミン、シリコンアルコキシド、シラン、ジシラン、シロキサン、アミノジシラン、及びハロゲン化二シリコンがある。一般的に、ハフニウム及びシリコンの供給源は、共通の配位子を有するように選択され、配位子交換から生じる厄介な問題を回避する。本明細書において引用により組み込まれている「混合成分を有する薄膜の分子層堆積」という名称のPCT特許出願出願番号PCT/US〇3/22236に開示するように、共有結合的に架橋した混合金属、並びに非共有的に結合した混合金属は、堆積用の前駆体として使用することができる。非共有結合の様式には、水素結合、配位結合、金属−金属結合、金属−π、金属−π*、π−π結合、シグマ−シグマ結合、イオン性結合、ファン・デル・ワールス相互作用、疎水性/親水性相互作用、極性結合、又は双極子モーメント相互作用がある。不活性ガスの供給源には、アルゴン、窒素、不活性ガス、又はそれらの混合物のような搬送ガスが含まれる。 Suitable sources of hafnium include hafnium dialkylamide, hafnium alkoxide, hafnium diketonate, or hafnium halide.

In general, the hafnium and silicon sources are selected to have a common ligand, avoiding the troublesome problems arising from ligand exchange. Covalently cross-linked mixed metals as disclosed in PCT Patent Application No. PCT / US03 / 22236, entitled “Molecular Layer Deposition of Thin Films with Mixed Components”, incorporated herein by reference.

Inert gas sources include carrier gases such as argon, nitrogen, inert gases, or mixtures thereof.
再び図2を参照すると、第2の層202が第1の層200上に堆積し、第2の層202は、シリコンよりも大きいハフニウム濃度、すなわち、ハフニウム>シリコンである濃度を有する。より高い濃度のハフニウムは、誘電体の全体的構成が高kハフニウム誘電体のように挙動することを保証するものである。第2の層202内のシリコンの存在は、個々の層の間に電気的な漏れ又は欠陥を起す可能性のある急激な組成的境界面がないように、第1の層200からの漸変的な化学量論的移行を作り出す。引続くオゾンによる酸化は、第2の層202を提供するものである。
Referring again to FIG. 2, a
本発明の様々な実施形態では、第3の層203は、任意的に、主にハフニウムを含んで、すなわち、ハフニウム≫シリコンであるように第2の層202の上に堆積され、組成勾配を有する誘電体層のスタックを形成することができる。酸化反応物を用いる酸化は、主として二酸化ハフニウムを生じさせる。この手法を用いれば、あらゆる勾配、厚み、及び組成の均質な膜を精度及び制御を伴って作製することができる。
別の態様においては、第3の層203は、窒化反応物を用いて窒化することができる。窒素の包含は、誘電体を通過するホウ素のような不純物の拡散を阻止し、膜の長期の性能と信頼性を高めるものである。
In various embodiments of the present invention, the
In another aspect, the
一部の実施形態では、第3の層203は、堆積後のアニール段階の時にアンモニアガスの存在で熱的に窒化することができる。それに対して、他の実施形態では、第3の層203は、処理チャンバ102とは離れて生成した高エネルギ窒素粒子を用いて窒化することができる。本発明の1つの態様によるアンモニアを用いる例示的なアニール後の膜のXPSスペクトルが図13で示されている。これもまた図13に示されているHfSiO基準と比較すれば、400eVの近くの窒素ピークの存在が、HfSiO層内への窒素の取り込みを示している。様々なテークオフ角度(TOA)での測定は、誘電体の表面のみでなく膜内部深くにも窒素が存在することを検出している。
In some embodiments, the
任意的に、必要に応じて、窒化物層を形成してアニールするために加熱に依存する代わりに、窒化は、光により、又は、光、加熱、及び化学的開始剤のあらゆる組合せにより促進させることができる。例えば、ある一定の実施形態では、直接プラズマ、遠隔プラズマ、下流側プラズマ、紫外線光子エネルギ、又はその組合せを窒化を促進するために使用することができる。活性化エネルギ源には、プラズマ、光、レーザ、ラジカル、及びマイクロ波エネルギ源、及びそれらの混合形態がある。 Optionally, instead of relying on heating to form and anneal the nitride layer, if desired, nitriding is promoted by light or any combination of light, heating, and chemical initiators. be able to. For example, in certain embodiments, direct plasma, remote plasma, downstream plasma, ultraviolet photon energy, or a combination thereof can be used to promote nitridation. Activation energy sources include plasma, light, laser, radical, and microwave energy sources, and mixtures thereof.
別の実施形態では、上述のように、適切な窒素供給源には、アンモニア、重水素置換アンモニア、15N富化アンモニア、アミン、アミド、窒素ガス、ヒドラジン、アルキルヒドラジン、亜酸化窒素、一酸化窒素、窒素ラジカル、N−オキシド、又はそれらの混合物がある。
本発明の更に別の態様においては、膜の窒化に関するが、誘電体を窒化する環境的方法が提供される。図14は、ハフニウム・ジアルキルアミド前駆体とオゾンとの間の反応で生じるHfO2堆積の速度が、意外にも反応温度の低下と共に増大することを示している。ハフニウム・ジアルキルアミドに対するオゾンの反応性のために、HfSiOx300は、図1の気化器107及び109内でハフニウム及びシリコンをそれぞれ気化させることにより、図14に示すように基板前駆体112上に堆積した。オゾンは、基板112を格納している処理チャンバ102内に入口103を通過して供給される。酸化は、16aにおけるような比較的低い温度で急速に起こり、酸化ハフニウム302が生じる。酸窒化物層304は、層302をゲート電極からのホウ素拡散から保護するために金属酸化物302の上にあるのが望ましい。
酸窒化物層304を堆積させるのに2つの方法がある。第1の方法においては、図16aに表されるように、堆積前駆体124及び126が気化して処理チャンバ102内に注入され、基板112上に堆積混合物の単層を形成する。
In another embodiment, as described above, suitable nitrogen sources include ammonia, deuterium substituted ammonia, 15 N enriched ammonia, amine, amide, nitrogen gas, hydrazine, alkyl hydrazine, nitrous oxide, monoxide. There are nitrogen, nitrogen radicals, N-oxides, or mixtures thereof.
In yet another aspect of the invention, relating to nitridation of a film, an environmental method of nitriding a dielectric is provided. FIG. 14 shows that the rate of HfO 2 deposition resulting from the reaction between the hafnium dialkylamide precursor and ozone unexpectedly increases with decreasing reaction temperature. Due to the reactivity of ozone to hafnium dialkylamide,
There are two ways to deposit the
ここで図16aを参照すると、酸化物302を生じる低温度にも関わらず、アンモニアを用いる800℃での次の熱的酸窒化アニールは、許容することができるが、処理の観点からは好ましくないものである。構造的には、そのような高いアニール温度は、大きい懸念を提起する。すなわち、酸化物層302の結晶化であり、酸化物302内部深く又はその粒界における内在的欠陥の可能性をもたらすものである。
Referring now to FIG. 16a, a subsequent thermal oxynitridation anneal at 800 ° C. with ammonia is acceptable, despite the low temperature that produces
本発明の好ましい実施形態では、酸窒化物を堆積する第2の方法が図16bに示されている。図16bにおける方法は、図16aにおける方法に比較すれば、酸窒化物304へのより経済的な道筋である。オゾンは、金属ジアルキルアミドと容易に反応するので、堆積混合物が最初に基板112上に堆積され、順番に原位置でアンモニアによって処理される。比較的低い温度での窒化物303の形成に引続き、オゾンを用いた酸化が反応を完了まで進め、酸窒化物304を生成する。
本発明の一部の実施形態では、重水素置換アンモニア又は15N−アンモニアが好ましい。
図17は、酸窒化物304の表面よりも下にある組成プロフィールを示している。窒素濃度は、膜の表面上で最大であるが、HfO2の表面に到達するまで表面の下で徐々に低下する。膜内に更に入ると、シリコン基板112の境界層に到達するまでHfO2302の濃度が低下してHfSiOx300に引き継がれる。
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, a second method of depositing oxynitride is shown in FIG. 16b. The method in FIG. 16b is a more economical route to oxynitride 304 compared to the method in FIG. 16a. Since ozone reacts readily with the metal dialkylamides, the deposition mixture is first deposited on the
In some embodiments of the invention, deuterium substituted ammonia or 15 N-ammonia is preferred.
